I just purchased a set from Tiago at VRSF as well, great guy to do business with and unbelievable pricing on KW's! I'm just wondering what other suspension components I should replace when I put the coils on to avoid future wear. I was thinking sway bar end links and control arms. My car has 54k miles on the stock components. Any advice?

Tiago at VSRF! Enough said. I am ordering one from him here in a day or so.

I have tried the DIY install for some springs i had, and I was unable to get the first bolt off the suspension. Everything is siezed up so badly, and I only have 20k miles on the thing! Any tips there, to save me 600 bucks before allignment? The isntall itself looks easy enough, if the bolts moved.

IDK I always use impact guns/pneumatic ratchets on suspension when taking the bolts off. If you have difficulty and do not have those tools. A breaker bar, torch, and PB blaster is your best friend. Save $600 for methanol.

Tully BMW of Nashua says they will do the install for $760 and the alignment for $120

Concord Motorsport (local bmw shop) said they would do it for $995 including alignment, which doesn't make sense that they would be more than the dealer

My buddy i think is gonna do the install for me for like $350-400

I have an impact gun but I gotta get myself a pneumatic ratchet. Breaker bar is a good one to have and not sure what a pb blaster is. I have no problem using a torch but i don't really have much training with them and i feel like a lot can go wrong, last thing i would want to do is mess up something serious lol. Ive definitely considered doing it myself tho just havent done it before and dont want to mess anything up
